The five senior Lautoka soccer players who have been dropped from the team due to non attendance will now have to face a disciplinary committee.
The five Valerio Nawatu, Jone Vono Junior, Marika Madigi, Samuela Kautoga and Ilaitia Tuilau will not be included in the final team to face off with Hekari United in their O-League encounter tomorrow.
Lautoka Soccer President Shalen Prasad said it is disappointing to see most senior players display such behaviour however he believed their absence will not affect the squad.
Meanwhile, overseas based players Solomon Islander Judd Molea, Nigerian Sanni Issa, Australian trio Daniel Severino, James Nicholas and Nahuel Arrarte will replace those that have been dropped from the squad.
The Hekari United and Lautoka O-League game kicks off at 3pm tomorrow at Churchill Park and you can catch a live commentary of the match on our sister station radio Sargam.
